One of the biggest risers in our updated senior rankings is this Chattanooga area big man that shows on film the ability to develop into a starting center on the college landscape. Sporting good size and a technique sound skill set, Gilbert is one of the more improved offensive linemen in our senior class that took his game to another level by developing further with his bend and lower body agility as well as his football IQ. His film is strong. Gilbert handles the blitz well while maintaining his balance and strength. I like how Gilbert worked hard in the offseason to push his game further and put himself on the map as a legit college prospect. He may have to start his career on the lower level of college ball but could be a guy to watch for as a potential FCS, D1 guy down the road.

One of the biggest risers within our next updated senior rankings will be this Chattanooga area O-lineman that has taken a big step with his progression and developed enough to become a FCS level prospect. Gilbert’s senior clips show nice footwork where he gets to the 2nd level well along with high football intelligence where he picks up the blitz on a consistent basis. He is a violent competitor too, which is a good trait to have in the trenches. The Canes senior big man handles the center position but has the girth/size to play guard as well. The way he has performed this Fall shows me he could develop nicely on the college level as a potential starting center or guard on the FCS stage. Maybe one day Gilbert can go higher but right now, he has definitely positioned himself as a legit college prospect.
